Joe Jackson - Steppin' Out (1982)

[@jacksonandsabrina]

This song brings me back to Nov. 82 as a teenager. It was just before thanksgiving day, a cold chilly night hanging out grooving to this new song by Joe Jackson. These were the days. Young kids today don't know what good music really sounds like. Glad i was born when I was.

Hey man are you still alive and kick’n

[@etpslick100]

One of the best songs of the 80’s.😌🎹👍🏾

[@douglaswaggoner7487]

Thank you so much, Joe Jackson! You definitely help life be worth living! God bless you!!!

[@jpcohen1978]

I remember watching this on MTV with my babysitter on those Saturday nights when the folks were "steppin' out." So the song is always tinged with a bit of childhood sadness and mystery.

[@raidercan]

Saw him perform this (and many others) in a piano bar at the South Center Inn in Edmonton, Alberta in 1983 - clasic. 28 years later, JJ is still one of the best.

[@glyph68]

Good to see that all I have to do is walk down the list of replies and like them. This song is immortal.

Taking it back to the old days

[@MrBandosatoshi]

Now the mist across the window hides the lines But nothing hides the colour of the lights that shine Electricity so fine look and dry your eyes We so tired of all the darkness in our lives With no more angry words to say can come alive Get into a car and drive to the other side Me babe,steppin' out Into the night,into the light You babe,steppin' out Into the night,into the light We are young but getting old before our time We'll leave the t.v and the radio behind Don't you wonder what we'll find steppin' out tonight You can dress in pink and blue just like a child And in a yellow taxi turn to me and smile We'll be there in just a while if you follow me Me babe,steppin' out Into the night,into the light You babe,steppin' out Into the night,into the light Me babe,steppin' out Into the night,into the light You babe,steppin' out Into the night,into the light.

THANK YOU!

Very clever lyrics.

Quand est sorti "I'm the man" j'avais 15 ans.... bientôt 60 ! Respect pour un grand artiste.🧓❤ 🤪💫 Strange Land est une très belle chanson, comme quoi, quand on a du talent, ce n'est pas une question d'âge, d'époque, on est ce que l'on reste, jusqu'au bout. Infinis remerciements à Joe Jackson qui m'a accompagné durant tant d'années et me donne "la pêche" dans mon métier de soignante.❤

[@tx4631]

I love this song. The first time I heard it was at a Kmart back in the early 80s.

[@suki44883]

This song never ceases to make me happy! ♥

[@rafaeltoader7081]

Beautiful song...

[@fathergriffageuk]

Pure Classic Joe Jackson! One of his best tunes!!!!

[@aja1383]

I forgot how absolutely awesome this guy is. The 80's were great

[@JoeyV23]

I remember hearing this as a kid (8 yrs old) because my mom was blaring this on the stereo. haha...great memories!

[@cdweedz]

this reminds me of roller skating parties when i was a kid. skating was fun. now life blows, but i get by.

[@36TRecords]

I was privileged to see 3 of their concerts & interview them once. Similar to the the forces behind Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, ABBA, Midge Ure, Brian Transeau (BT), Sarah McLachlan, et al,, all are down to Earth, humble, give back to society via charities, & create award winning music. I enjoy nearly all genrés of music (except for modern day rap, some opera, etc), but contest that the 80's produced some stellar music that will never be forgotten. Respects, MARCUS Van STEUR 3:6:T RECORDS, Inc

[@jossleo]

I remember when this song was first released, it was the same day as my 49th birthday. Good memories

[@kathydesigner]

So cool even today ! Plus really great memories of Lindum ave lincoln ...Kx

[@appledecca]

I unashamedly love this! He He . Thanx

[@drewper73]

I can't even bring myself to listen to Top40 radio today. For me that stopped as soon as I heard the likes of Def Leppard, KISS, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and so on. I listen to all kinds of music, but I definitely went thru a metal phase in my teens & I still love it today. I like other genres of music as well.

[@N4TCM]

wish we still had shows like Solid Gold if the music was any good like the Big 80's. I remember this from my senior year....1982. now I'm middle age crazy...:0

[@Edward7057]

31 years later and I still love this song.

[@t1000eg]

What a timeless song this is, absolutely fantastic x

[@psychlodgejacobo6839]

Ear candy that pleases and delivers. Very original sounding too 👌🏻😳

[@sungodrah]

Lookin' at some of these comment areas for 80s music uploads,I will admit it is soo nice to see youngins' enjoying 70s,80s music..XOX

[@GiuseppeVerarditrading]

Who could really say this sound dates back to almost 30 years ago? This sound is forever

[@bigbrojack]

This song was such a ubiquitous part of the soundtrack of my life in the early 1980s. When Solid Gold came on WFLX 29 at 6PM on Saturday nights in West Palm Beach, Florida, you had a decision to make: stay home and watch the show, or go to the mall and spend some time flipping through vinyl 33s or cassettes at the record stores before the mall closed at 9PM.

[@Tony63208]

I remember so vividly taking a girl who I loved to his concert a the Horden Pavilion in Sydney back in 1983.She was so blown away by him I was in like Flynn.It was the masterstroke of my life.

[@blakfloyd]

Every time I hear it I see Tony Danza and Judith Light dancing in a fantasy sequence.

[@75tm400]

Great song! I was in the navy (1981-1983) when this song came out. I was assigned to the guided missile destroyer USS LUCE DDG-38 that was undergoing an overhaul in the Phil.,PA naval shipyard on broad street. Great memories of steppin out on the town with fellow shipmates & hearing great songs like this. Anyone on the USS LUCE DDG-38 from 1982 to 1983 give me a shout on my youtube channel. Thanks for the post.

[@nema1218]

Great song,probably his most remembered song in terms of mainstream.But Joe Jackson had other great songs,what an under-rated artist.This came out 1982,I was born in Dec 1986,2 weeks before 1987.Great artist.Joe Jackson-Born Burton Upon Trent,England,August 1954.

[@kenethlujan]

EVERY THING JOE DOES TURNS INTO GOOD MUSIC. HE IS THE MAN!

[@TheHalfBake]

The 80s brings back so many memories... Good and bad.

[@alanbaird7064]

Fabulous song ideally suited to Joe. His best ever.

[@mejanegilbert]

Fantastic! Great memories!

[@hifty12]

That's awesome. I saw him yesterday live in Annemasse he's still a great man

[@shweamel]

He took me by surprise with his high waisted pants and suspenders....GREAT VOICE AND SONG THOUGH...even though his knees sort of buckle and his tie is extra wide. Love it!

[@ARISTIDESROBLES]

Realmente bello, I love your voice and music , Joe thank you

[@gabullstud]

I was in the 8th grade when this song was out and this song was THE BOMB. A good one! Those were the days!!

[@Livingmadriz]

Finally I found it!!! I had not heard it for ages and watching a chapter of Nip Tuck Iheard it again. I tried to search for it but I knew neither the title nor the singer. I love this song!!!

[@OZRIC1985]

I still remember the first time I heard this in 1982. I was in my high school weight room working out and this song came on the radio and someone said "what is this, Muzak (i.e. elevator music...lol)?" It took a little while for this to grow on people (some people anyway...lol). Although I was a rocker (Dio, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, etc) and hung out mostly with rockers, I did end up liking this song after listening to it a few times. Joe Jackson is a great musician. :)

[@johnhamiltonathome]

Was seeing a model at the time Sally Anne Atkinson.1976.

[@CRYSTALLTAY]

thank u. i watched this very performance on solid gold and never forgot it. i was a preteen then . thank u

[@drewper73]

Boy this takes me back! I was about 8 or 9 when this was on the radio and I always thought it was a level above most of the stuff on the radio at that time.

[@BobbyPaul100]

This is for all you guys that don't appreciate 80's music; you need to study music or at least feel it. Me and my band were during the Beach Boys and Beatles, but we appreciate all good music. And the 80's were great. And as usual the UK lead the way. BP-USA

[@nelsonantonio5870]

Awesome song !

[@soulkiss31]

Me too - I used to love this song when I was 9 years old!

[@takingitbackgal80]

Classic f****** eighties. I am so glad to have experienced that era which had so much originality.

[@Chubbyfresh724]

the bass player is just THUNDERING!! love it.

[@mjtala]

I knew the sync from the first chord. Still extraordinary music.

[@gringobandito4371]

I heard this song in BurgerKing this morning I was like fuck yeah

[@PhillyCEEZ]

joe is a legend i havent even heard his other trax but this 1 always plays at work and i always sing it....whatta tune.

[@greghol]

First semester of college. Good memories!

[@ipohboy]

Miss good music like this from a fab era

[@MrErickNilson]

Great music! It is prettier than many songs today.

[@justblu03]

I simply LOVE this song... this and Donald Fagen's "New Frontier" so much I don't have the words to express it... ♥

Essa música é maravilhosa...Joe é um excelente interprete!!! Anderson, Brasil.

[@bathtubgeorge]

it's a song that will pump you up before a night out, great track.

[@Hot80s]

this song has been to hell & back in airtime & yet i still like hearing it.

[@VanBredlove]

Joe Jackson was what I needed when these songs came out; they fit my mood then

[@rayturvey7967]

wow what quality

[@ropleto1]

i love this 1 great song thanks...............

Viva os anos 80 Rio de janeiro Brazil 🇧🇷😀 bons tempos saudade

[@jared1971]

JJ at his best! Takes me right back to 1982/83 yet this is so timeless also. I wish he'd stuck to this instead of going into all of the jazz stuff.

[@levibowden]

Love it! Classic track full of positive energy....!

[@mikew.andbrad8614]

Absolutely amazing music, added to our Oldies World!

[@minsk1996]

what a beat...totally superb mr Jackson...

[@boomerang905]

This is really some good music making here. I never really saw the videos for this but the song itself has haunted me for years. So full of melody and the lyrics - awesome, sweet and a little sad too. Thanks for sharing. Good quality video too.

[@evelynmh]

@fatalexcerpts your new lyrics are a very clever spin on the life we all lead in the "80's..very insightful.Great interpretation.

[@rayzrblayd]

I've heard this song many times over the years but never knew who sang it and it never hit a chord with me like it did when seeing Joe and The Roots perform it on Jimmy Fallon's show. That lead me here and to learn more about Joe Jackson. It was very much live on LNWJF warts and all and it sounds so damned cool.

[@latinjoe8]

brings back great memories of a fun period in my life !

[@Fioneenacockeen]

Excellent artist...in a league of his own. Nice 1

[@2n918]

Oh Yeah, Joe Jackson's Steppin' Out! Great tune, still sounds fresh after all these years. Thanx for posting!

This is one of my favorite songs of all time! Love ya! Corine

[@perkydoo]

Fabulous! It still sounds great after all these years...

[@openswimmer]

I saw the Night and Day Tour in Munich. Brilliant show - mega brilliant album and a musical milestone. What a concept: a rock album without guitars! Thanks forever, Joe Jackson. (And thanks for posting.)

My thoughts exactly.....and the older you get the more immediate the feeling is....
